Your top 5 pc games ... EVER
 

Playing a golden "oldie" at the moment (#3), and this is my list:

1. Rome: Total War
2. Silent Hunter 3
3. Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2
4. rFactor
5. Monkey Island series (except the silly 3D one)

We have probably done this before, but what the heck.:)

1 : Medieval 2 Total War
2 : Battlestation Midway ( Pacific Comming soon... )
3 : Silent Hunter 4
4 : Lock On modern air combat
5 : Armed Assault

1 (ill have to think)

2 SH3

3 Il2 (at times, it could be #2)

4 SH4

5 ?

This is a tough one and the order could change by the hour but as it stands...

1. City of Heroes

2. Ultima Online

3. Silent Hunter III

4. Dangerous Waters (3+4 tend to intechange depending on mood)

5. Half Life or Neverwinter Nights goes here depending on mood.

My favs are the same as Stabiz's, apart from no.4. I'd say Team Fortress 2 instead

I can't pick my top 5. 5 in no particular order.
SH4, Red Alert 2, Jedi Outcast, X-wing Alliance and Call of Duty series.

1. Thief, the Dark Shadows - Best game ever bar none. Not any one thing that could be pinned down as why. Atmosphere, the audio, the sense of dread, the patience to complete your task. Of course I played on the hardest level where you were not allowed to kill anyone.

2. Falcon 4 AF - Bar none, the best Flight simulator. Now you know what it is to fly and fight in an F-16.

3. Daggerfall - Still the best out of all of the Arena series, and much more massive than Oblivion or Morrowind, and so much more you could do too. Not to say Oblivion or Morrowind are bad, quite the contrary, just not as good would be a better way to put it.

4. Operation Flashpoint - The hours sucked up by this game.... If I could only get them back... :D Jaded me for FPS type games forever.

5. Starflight - Need I say more?

Not in any order and prolly cant remember half of games that should be on the list:

- Broken Sword 1 & 2
- Close Combat series
- IL2
- Day of Defeat for Half life 1 (this is the #1 on the list)
- Fahrenheit

Operation Flashpoint
IL-2 Sturmovik
Lock On
World in Conflict
Operation Flashpoint

5. Red Alert 3 (Still in its infancy but can become something great.)

4. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (with expansions) I loved Oblivion but Morrowind sucked me into the game a lot more.

3. Company of Heroes (An odd selection for me since I never really got into it. That doesn't mean it isn't great. I enjoy it a lot when I play it.)

2. Silent Hunter IV

1. John Deere American Farmer (haha Just kidding! :lol:)

1. Red Alert 2 (with Yuri's Revenge expansion)

My Top 5:

1: Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and Beyond the dark Portal(expansion)
I spend my youth playing this game
2: The IL-2 franchise
Been playing it since the release
3: Panzer General
Also a game I played silly back in the old Pentium I and Win95 days
4: Silent Hunter III
Has been the best introduction to the Sub naval warfare in World War 2 for me
5: Close Combat 4 & 5
Favorite tactical RTS game

HunterICX

SHIII
IL2
Armed Assault
Medieval II
at the moment there is no 5 perhaps Arma 2 or Empire total war :hmm:

My favorites:

1. Mafia

2. SilentHunter II+III

3. IL2

4. Operation Flashpoint

5. NASCAR Racing 2003

and some good more....

5. X3 Reunion
4. EU Games( HOI2, EUIII, etc)
3. Eve online
2. Europa Barbarorum
1. Dwarf Fortress

1. Operation Flashpoint for it's great long term motivation due to modding and mission editing capabilities
2. Combat Mission (is kind of the bigger-scale counterpart for Ofp for me)
3. Falcon 4 for it's dynamic campaign (actually I hardly play this game but it is good anyway

The rest I don't know there are other good games which I'm tinking of but I cannot put them into an order now, among them are: Silent Hunter III, Airborne Assault, Fallout, Day of Defeat (I'm still playing the beta versions with Bots from time to time, unfortunately there aren't any servers for those old versions anymore), Dangerous Waters, Hearts of Iron, Total War (mainly Medieval:TW) and so on and so forth :D

Man this is hard... :hmm:


1. has to be the Half Life series (I'm including 1, 2 and the episodes in that). The characters are brilliantly fleshed out and believable, it's just so well made.

2. Tomb Raider 1. Such a scary game (well, when you're 7 anyway). Absolute classic.

3. World In Conflict. Despite not being as tactical or long as CoH, it had one of the best storylines I've ever seen in a game, if not the best, and certainly the most thought provoking.

4. Call of Duty 2. By far the best of the series imo (although I haven't played the first much). I still go back to that game even after completing it many a time.

5. Flight Simulator 2004. I've pumped sooo many flying hours into that game, it had to be on this list somewhere!


Some that just missed out, or are on different platforms but are worth a mention:
Bioshock
Fallout 3
Uncharted Drakes Fortune
Overboard!
Spyro 1, 2 and 3
Total War (probs Medieval 2 but they are all brilliant)
Ballance
Deus Ex
F.E.A.R
The Lost Crown

oooo that is a tuff one :hmm:

1. Zelda - Wind waker.
2. Banjo kazooie
3. Project gotham racing 4
4. Resident evil remake (gamecube)
5. mario kart double dash

I dont spend much time now playing games but in my opinion my best gaming days were on the N64 and gamecube :up:

Oh and crash bandicoot and spyro as well :)

I'll purposefully avoid the obvious Silent Hunter 3/4 mention as it almost goes without saying...

Since it's so hard to narrow down, here's 5 of my many all time favorites that I didn't see anyone else mention.

1. MechWarrior 4
2. Jedi Knight Academy (but I haven't played Force Unleashed yet)
3. Fable (that reminds me, I need to pickup Fable2!)
4. Railroad Tycoon
5. Roller Coaster Tycoon

Thanks for the thread and all who posted, since I was just lamenting over the lack of new games.
Now I have a list to take with me to hunt the jewel-case-bargain-shelves at Target!

1) Fallout series original only.
2) Mech Commander series
3) X3 Reunion
4) S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
5) Silent Hunter 3

1. IL-2 Sturmovik
2. Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
3. Aces of the Pacific
4. Wing Commander Privateer
5. Fallout
